Hello everyone. I don't have much to say except I want to quit smoking. I've tried this repeatedly; I exercise almost an hour every day, do notovereat, and am still in good shape for a 59 year old. I have 2 smokes left in a box, and I don't want to buy any more. I want this to be my last day to smoke.

Thanks for your Reply!

Keep going! Don't quit the quitting now. You've worked so hard to come thus far, make something out of it.

Try alternatives if you must (patches, gums, e cigarettes, etc.) but don't buy another pack.

Some tips to lower your cravings:

- Take a ice cold shower every time you feel like smoking. This has really helped me in the past. - Eat something super healthy. - Keep chatting at the forums. Members will always be really helpful and share you some of their inspiring stories.

Hell monkus, I hope you are well & in good spirits. Did you buy a pack of smokes? I am working the plan from this web site. I picked the quit day on Feb. 15, which is the 30 days directed. I have started working out more etc. I too have quit over & over. But I feel motivated due to the fact that I am so tired of thinking about quitting every day. So following this plan I hope to quit. I hope that this time my brain wins the fight over the cravings. That is my worst. they come from every where. I am getting ready..

I have recently quit smoking. I've smoked for way too many years, But I'm concerned because I'm reading that most people are coughing up a lot after they quit. I'ts been 3 weeks for me and I'm not coughing up anything? I do have like a frog in my throat but just no cough. Will that come later? Please answer if you can.. worried here. Thanks so much.Lynn

Hello Lynn, I hope you are well & in good spirits. I don't know when coughing up tar will happen but usually the body will cleanse it's self. That frog you are writing about sounds like a dry unproductive cough. To liquify the mucus you may want to put your head over a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes 3-4x's a day. that will help bring it up. speak with your Dr. about what to expect-orate.
